Jason Kenny: Off to strong start in the event Sir Chris Hoy made his own

Riding in the event which begins behind a motor-paced Derny and which Sir Chris Hoy has dominated in recent years, with Olympic titles in Beijing and London, and in a venue named after the Scot, Kenny claimed a supreme win in his heat.

One rider advanced to the second round and the remainder fell into the repechage and the 24-year-old from Bolton left nothing to chance, going from the front to win by a bike length.

World and Olympic champion Laura Trott was fourth after the opening event of the women's omnium, the flying lap.

The 20-year-old, who won team pursuit gold on day one, clocked 14.557 seconds as Australia's Ashlee Ankudinoff set the pace in 14.340secs.
